Little Bear
Little Bear passed away overnight in his sleep and was found by his foster family in the morning. He was loved and will be missed by his foster mom........BJ Herrick, March 16, 2021

Little Bear
Little Bear was also known as "Tilt" by his friends. This little guy gave back to his foster parents by teaching them strength, bravery, humility and love of life! He was extremely courageous as he went through the remaining months of his life with an inoperable brain tumor that left him with no concept of a "horizon line". This made his head tilt to the side and his tongue hang out. But Tilt always stayed happy and spunky.

Near the end, his right eye became paralyzed and eventually the day came when he couldn't stand or walk. Tilt died in the loving arms of his fosters.

Little Miss Muffett
Little Miss Muffett found her way into rescue after being picked up as a stray along with two other eskies in Michigan- Angel and Simple Simon. Of the three, Muffett tested heartworm positive, needed to be spayed and had a very large bladder stone that required surgery to be removed. Little Miss Muffett won the heart of the good samaritan that found her, she was also a vet tech and knew what kind of special care Muffett needed. Every day, Little Miss Muffett went to work with her caregiver- she was the ambassador for the staff and even the vet's own daughter came to visit every day just so that she could take Muffett on a walk. Even though she went through heartworm treatment without too many difficulties, it wasn't until she was spayed that she developed problems. After living a life of neglect and had never received any vet care, Little Miss Muffett passed away in the home of her caregiver. During her time in rescue, Muffett never let on how sick she really was, even in the end, her fluffy white tail wagged. Her caregiver will never forget this wonderful little spirit and neither will we.

Little Orphan Annie
This pup of only 9 months strayed into the path of a car and suffered two broken back legs. Little Annie went to surgery and was paid close attention to by her foster mom Kim, and even went to the hospital with her to entertain chemotherapy patients. Annie was a joy to be around and even played with her toys while laying in one spot.

But something went wrong. The left leg was not healing so she went into surgery again. Little Annie's life was cut short and died in recovery from complications in August, 2005. Annie broke a lot hearts that day and inspired the ERU Medical Fund to help offset the costs of emergency medical care for our rescued eskies.

Louie
On Wednesday we said goodbye to our Louie In 2017 I saw a Fb post that he would be up for adoption (already having Annabella) I wanted to get a companion for her. I reached out to the rescue and Mayli Someillan (Louie’s foster mom) and inquired about adopting him. I had told Mayli that if Annabella (who is the boss) didn’t like Louie, I wouldn’t be able to keep him. She brought him to our house for a meet and greet and the rest is history. Over the years Louie lived in a loving home, was spoiled and received way too many treats. He had his routine and did his thing. We found out he had kidney failure and he was declining from his normal spunky self. On Wednesday he ate his chicken noodle soup and was laying in his spot next to where I sit at my counter. After 3pm he made a loud cry and I picked him up and he died in my arms. Russ (my husband) rushed home and as you can imagine we are devastated over the loss that many have unfortunately felt after the death of a pet I wanted to thank the rescue and Mayli for being a special part of our lives and giving us the opportunity to give Louie a loving home. Mayli and I developed a wonderful friendship over the years and I will always treasure that, and I appreciate her call and kind words after he passed. At the moment we have 2 dogs and will grieve the loss of Louie forever. I’m happy to be apart of a group that truly has a love for animals and we will continue to support the rescue❤️ Louie was a special boy and will live in our hearts forever❤️……..Dee Town, October 22, 2025
